ooo a new pixar film, im glad they’re making a new film instead of relying on a old franchise, lets hope it works out better than the good dinosaur film though. although i am getting a ‘Book of Life’ feel to this movie, although that could be cause both films look into the mexican after-life thing.

Can I like, anti-look forward to a new movie? Because the new alien trailer disappoints me in a way not even being forced to rewatch Alien Resurrection a thousand times could. It’s like someone sat down, watched Alien and went “I know, lets remake alien but pretend Michael Bay is directing it” and missed what made Alien an amazing film so hard that I fear it might somehow go back in time and just destroy the franchise.

The Book of Life is a 2014 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy adventure comedy film produced by Reel FX Creative Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Co-written and directed by Jorge R. Gutierrez, it was produced by Aaron Berger, Brad Booker, Guillermo del Toro, and Carina Schulze. The film stars the voices of Diego Luna, Zoe Saldana, Channing Tatum, Christina Applegate, Ice Cube, Ron Perlman, and Kate del Castillo. Based on an original idea by Gutierrez, the story follow The f...

Although, kinda wish there was a film that explored more of Mexican heritage besides the Dia de los Muertos angle…

I agree. I’ll take it though.

Speaking of which, some of the comments on youtube made me chuckle, calling Coco a “Book of Life” ripoff. They fail to see Dia de los Muertos is a holiday. You wouldn’t call Home Alone a Christmas Story ripoff, would you? It’s sorta the same thing.

i feel the Power rangers movie is going to be like a Transformer movie, all flashing lights and pazzaz, the kind of movie you watch when you’re bored on a sunday afternoon and play as background sound.

I’m tentatively looking forward to this. I loved the first one, but the second and third just declined badly. Which is a shame because I fucking loved Davy Jones in particular, but the rest of it all was incredibly lackluster. This one looks really good just from the trailer and looks to be more in spirit with the first film.

Ninfadora:

The Fate of the Furious as aforementioned.

I somehow managed to go years without watching the fast and furious franchise until recently, me and some friends were talking about how we’d never seen a whole movie, just bits and pieces whenever they came on TV so we sat down and started watching the first one. Then decided to have a movie night every night that week until we watched them all and now we’re all psyched for this last one. Something that sounds so dumb on paper manages to actually be really fun to watch and I love it.

I always tell people to jump to 5 because that’s where the series takes a strange turn into what it is now. I watch the first ones when I’m viewing for completeness’ sake (like the marathon my friends and I are having the weekend before 8 comes out), but if I’m just wanting to watch one, I usually watch 5, 6, or 7. Tokyo Drift is probably my least favorite, but that’s mostly because I hate the main kid. The only good thing to come out of that movie is Han.

Also, I’m still baffled why they didn’t call this movie F8 of the Furious. That was their whole pre-trailer marketing campaign, and then they dropped it as soon as they released the full title. But, then again, I also left Furious 7 thinking, “The next movie should be called Infuri8ed.”

They have some nice footage but I can’t stand their films in all honesty. Based on my, admittedly relatively limited, exposure to their stuff they try way too hard to humanize the animals and add a narrative to footage about animals. It’s one thing that really kills nature documentaries for me, they’re not people!
